The Trap Of Ace

Chapter 66

Read The Trap Of Ace [by Eva Zahan] Chapter 66 – He let out a sigh. “Two.”

It wasn’t much, but it still managed to sting. Biting my lip, I nodded and looked away.

This was ridiculous! It was in his past! Then why did I want to m****r those girls who got to have him?

Pressing his forehead against mine, he held my gaze. “It was when you left for NY. Even for just some time, I- I thought to let you go. I wanted to forget you so that you can live your life happily. So, for that I thought other girls could help me. Even if deep down I knew I couldn’t last for longer until I finally lost it and ran back to see you.” He placed a kiss in between my brows. “And it happened. I could stretch it only for one month until I lost it. I knew no one could take the place of my Rosebud. Nor could I live without loving her, without seeing her.”

A tear slipped down my cheek. “Those years were h**l for me as well. At least you could come and see me from afar. B-but, I had to fight with me constantly to forget you. The fight I knew I never would win. Everyone thought it was just a crush of a teenage girl.” I shook my head with my vision blurred with tears. “But it was much much more than just a crush. I had lost my heart to a boy I never thought would love me back.”

“But he did. More than anything, more than himself, with every fiber in his body,” he whispered, brushing his lips against mine. The crack in his voice told me his pain. I could express my agony with my tears, but he couldn’t. “I’m so sorry, baby. I’m so sorry, because of my one decision you had to suffer that much. But trust me, I did it only for you. Even if it k****d me.”

I grazed his rough stubble against my palm. “I know.”

He pulled me into his chest, wrapping his arms around me tightly. “I love you, my rose. I love you so f*****g much.”

I smiled. “I love you too.”

We went silent for a moment until I spoke again.

“Ace?”

“Hmm?” “You said you were waiting for me to complete my studies. What would you do if I really had managed to move on from you and fell in love with someone else?”

His grip tightened on me. Greek accent was deep as he replied, “Then I’d k**l that b*****d and make you fall in love with me again.”

I giggled, shaking my head. “What if I truly loved that man and hated you for doing that? What’d you do then?”

“Rosebud,” he warned.

Pulling away, I looked at him. “Tell me. What’d you do?”

He pulled me back into him. “I’d kidnap you, tie you to my bed and seduce you until you forgot him and start loving me again.”

My eyes widened. This caveman!

“What if even then I kept hating you and wouldn’t love you back as you wanted? What would you do then? What would you do if I never loved you again?”

His shoulders tensed. Jaw clenched and unclenched. His fingers tightened on my hips as he stared at me with hard yet unreadable eyes.

Then I saw the vulnerability. The uncertainty. The fear.

“I’d d*e if I had lost you completely. You don’t know what you mean to me. This man standing before you, only breaths for his Rosebud. Without her, he is nothing. Without you in my arms,”
